CHEESE! is funded (but there’s still time to support)

WE DID IT!

Yesterday, CHEESE! hit 100% of our funding goal on Kickstarter! 🧀 

Thank you to everyone who helped by pledging and sharing. 

This was literally only possible because 158 backers believed in this project and got involved. We reached the goal way earlier than expected and it means a lot that so many people piled in to make this happen. 

Johnny and I are so excited that we can now complete this project and publish a funny picture book for kids and families. An independent book that stands up against the offerings from big publishers. 

I got to celebrate the win in a very wet Sunderland with Bruce Springsteen.

This is a dream project and we’re so grateful that we can now make CHEESE! happen. We have some really cool things planned for the final design of the book and can’t wait to share it with you all. 

We’ll be posting updates as we progress to keep you in the loop of developments, including sharing new images and previews. You’ve seen a few of the characters already, but there are more friends from the world of CHEESE! to introduce. 

Although we’re at 100% the campaign isn’t over yet. 

We still have until the 4th June (National Cheese Day) to continue boosting the total. 

As outlined on the Project page, we’ve budgeted for printing with Amazon KDP. But now we have almost two weeks to continue growing our funding total, we can hopefully look at better quality print suppliers. 

Everyone has been so ridiculously generous, we want to make sure that every backer gets the best quality reward. Backers deserve that and families deserve a quality book that they can treasure for generations. We’re committed to deliver something that everyone can be proud to be associated with. 

So if you’ve not pledged yet, you can still get involved. 

Preorder a copy of the book (ebook, paperback, or signed editions available), order a comedy writing guide (that you can influence the contents of!), or just pledge because you believe in CHEESE!

If you’ve already pledged, it’s still possible to select add-ons. A great opportunity to get your name in the book, receive a thank you video, or grab some cool CHEESY swag like stickers or keyrings. 

Don’t forget to share with friends and family. Every share on social media helps us to reach a bigger audience and make CHEESE! even better.

Thanks again for getting us to 100% – you’re the BEST!

I’ll leave you with this lovely new review for CHEESE! from the brilliant Athena Kugblenu. 

Athena’s first book ‘History’s Most Epic Fibs‘ is being published in September 2024. It looks great! 

“Come on a very funny and very factual tour of history’s most epic fibs and failures! We’ve got stories of creative truth-telling and questionable decision making that will make young readers gasp at the past – but also help them to make sense of the present too.”

Check it out and preorder here.
